Update 8-20-09 Got the car dynotuned about 2weeks ago. she put down 203whp at 12psi on a very very safe tune just to get the motor broke in. Sense then i have put over 1000miles on her so i can go back and turn up the boost and lean it out more. Try'n to pick up a meth kit before i do tho. I also added the BMW headlights and The EVO3 front bumper. Here are some pic's..........

UPDATE 7-15-09 I know its been a min. I had some bs going on for the last 2 months but im back on it. THE CAR IS NOW RUNNING!!! I tuned it ok for now its def running rich tho. im going to mess around with it more this weekend. Yesterday i put 40miles on her and it seems to be running great besides running rich!!! Here are some pics.Going with the sleeper look right now!

UPDATE 5-10-09 Got some stuff done on the car this weekend mounted the intercooler, moved the rad because the turbo hit it, mouted the bumper but will have to come off again because i still need to find pipe to build my down pipe.........the downpipe and turbo inlet flange are all i need to start her up. The flange should be here tomorrow and hopefuly i can get the pipe for the downpipe or take it somewhere to get built. Without costing me an arm and a leg. Here are a few pic's

-------------------------MY NEW DOWN PIPE FROM CORSPORT HERE YET NEXT WEEK ---------------- THIS IS A PIC OF MY CAR AT WORK JUST CLEANED UP WITH MY NEW RIMS I FOUND ON AT CAR WE CUT UP. GTX IN AND RUNING ONLY TROUBLE IS KEEPING THE INTER COOLER PIPING TOGETHER. BLOWS APART AT 10 PSI*FIXED*. WHAT YOU THINK SHOT OF THE TURBO SIDE SHOT OF THE ENGINE

UPDATE 5-6-09 My B-day Got my oil feed line and fitting for the block yesterday. The fitting u need for the block is 10mm x 1.5 pitch to -4AN or -3AN. The oil line is all hooked up and fluids are filled. Im trying to figure out how to run my external wastegate i dont really want to try and weld on the mani anymore. Its not the best one. Im thinking about running the gate off the downpipe flange (where the hole is on the turbo itself) here are some pics of me holding the gate flange where im thinking about putting it.

UPDATE 4-4-09 Got the block together! Here is a lil write up of how i did it. I started out with a fresh bp block. I got it bored .40 over witch turned the 1.8 into a 1.9. First i placed the arp main studs into the block only hand tight at this time. Make sure u use the molly lube that came with them.

Now i installed the bearings into the main caps and install. Be aware that the main caps must go back on the way they came off. Now i torqued all mains down in 20lbs incriments to a spec of 60lbs. For you all that are using stock bolts 40-43 lbs is what u should torque them too. The caps must be tourqe in this order #3,#2,#4,#1,#5. DO NOT spin the crackshaft. I then removed all main caps in the oppisite order as i tighten them down. Remove all the main caps. Once all caps are removed you will see the plasti-gauge has widend. Using the cover of the plasti-gauge measure the width of the plastic. Make sure to use the inch side of the ruler!! When measured you should have a reading of .0015. If its outta spec's u need to buy th right bearings.

Once I installed the ring into bore i used a feeler gauges to measure the end gaps. Since i am running a boosted engine my gaps need to be larger. normally .024-.028 top ring and .025-.029 second ring. To find out what you'll need you take .006xyour bore diameter. So mine is .006x3.2=.019 top ring To find second ring take .0063xbore diameter. Here is just a pic of the sides of my gtr pistons i was tryin to figure out what side went where?????
